Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment

Mission & Goals

The Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment ('GIDE') is committed to ensuring citizens become active participants in the digital economy, irrespective of their country's level of development. While we recognise that different countries deal with different digital obstacles, we argue that many can be better solved by re-balancing the current power structures of online interactions. This can be achieved through strong representation rights and institutions, by applying to digital interactions long-standing fiduciary rules of the offline world, and by ensuring that artificial intelligence actors embed in their algorithms human-first and human-needs features to their tools.
